jon: a fox business alert for you now and some big reeds on the -- big reads on the economy today. two of those on the housing market. new home sales falling 1% last month hitting record lows in parts of the northeast and the west. but there's one bright spot. home prizes rose for a second straight month in may helped by spring buying. prices rose in 16 of the 20 cities surveyed. meantime, consumer confidence slightly herer in july, up to 59.5 from june's 57.6 but still well below 90, and that's what it takes to indicate a healthy economy. so far the markets seem more focused on company earnings than the debt crisis. the dow down slightly right now, about 55 points, but eventually the markets will react to the lack of a debt deal. fox business network's rich edson live from washington with more on that. rich? >> reporter: well, jon, it stands on two different proposals right now, one pushed by republicans, the second -- naturally -- pushed by democrats. first off, to the senate plan, something offered by senate majority leader harry reid. cuts $2.7 trillion over ten years and then

you've got to go where the big spending programs are. rising health care costs are the largest and fastest growing area of spending, bar none. that's why i've been an advocate of changing the way we pay for health care so it's based on the value. and we also need to scrub the defense budget. we have weapons systems that the pentagon keeps telling congress, stop appropriating money for these systems. we don't want 'em, we don't need 'em, they're not helping with defense readiness, and they're nonsensical. and i've been one of the leaders on farm bill reform, too, ending the huge taxpayer subsidies going to large agribusiness. it's not fiscally responsible, and that, too, should be in the mix. jenna: we'll see if we can get some of these big things done. that seems to be what you're going for, and we'll see if it can get done. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. jon: we are awaiting an important meeting of house republicans. we're just getting word that speaker john boehner will unveil another plan to control the ballooning debt

that is the other big thing. if we don't get a debt deal we might get higher interest rates which will hurt job growth so it is a pretty rough situation. jon: some of the countries like germany, didn't stimulate like we did and still came out of this pretty well, right? >> they did. germany is a actually a very good example of that. look at some of the other european countries not in such good shape. we heard talking about a moment ago will we turn into the next greece? there are key difference what we have as an advantage versus what is going on in europe. to me is interest rates. our interest rates is very, very low here. that is why the debt debate is very important debate. if we come through it and we don't have a deal by august 2nd we will have higher interest rates. that is what is going on a in europe. that is very difficult for them to borrow money. we can still borrow at very low rate. that is one of the advantages. there is question how long that will be there for. jon: when you read the numbers it is h
